This chapter is pretty short, so sorry. I've been really busy. Let me know how you like it! Even you just want to inform me that you no longer want to read my story because it's gotten boring, LET ME KNOW in a REVIEW! I can't fix it unless you tell me.

Cylobaby: Say it.

Cylon: No.

Cylobaby: Say it and I'll get you some tuna!

Cylon: Oh, fine! Cylobaby doesn't own any ideas about the Gift or Sight. There, gimme tuna!

Cylobaby: Thank you. As you can see, Cylon has informed you that you cannot sue me. Hahaha. Enjoy the chapter.

After collecting the drenched Cylon from the hotel doorway and taking Callie out of her jacket so she could breath, Cat rejoined hands with James. As she led him towards their room, she was intensely aware of his warm skin in her hand.

Nathan looked up as they entered the small hotel room. "Where have you been?" he asked sharply, directing the question to James. Cat looked away in annoyance, unwillingly to have her frustration show in her green eyes. Sudden silence from Nathan told Cat that he had noticed their loosely clasped hands. "You don't… you aren't… James!" he cried in bewilderment. Cat looked back at Nathan, his eyes wide and shocked.

"Er… yeah," answered James lamely. "Listen, Nathan, I know you have your doubts about her, but I don't share them."

Furious to be talked about as if she weren't standing right there, Cat opened her mouth, but was silenced by a slight squeeze on the hand from James. She looked up at him and felt her heart speed up. Just that; the slightest touch of his hand was making her light-headed. She admired his strong shoulders and features as her wild eyes met his dark blue ones.

Realizing Nathan was still watching them; Cat shook herself out of her daze and said to the prince quietly, "James, can I talk with Nathan… alone?"

James's hawk-like gaze left hers for a second as he glanced at the gaping Nathan before nodding and saying that he was going to see what the hotel was serving for dinner.

As James left, an uncomfortable silence filled the room as though his presence had been the only thing holding back the waves of tension within the room.

"Cat, if you're going to talk to Nathan, you might need to do it now," Cylon prompted gently from beside her.

"I don't know if I should. I mean, he doesn't seem to trust me anymore so how can I talk to him at all?"

"You won't know until you try," mind-spoke the feline softly. Cal looked as though she were about to speak, but Cylon silenced her with a swish of her pure white tail.

Cat finally said aloud, "Nathan, what's wrong with you lately? We used to be friends. Suddenly you're acting like I'm going stab you in the back the moment you look away? What happened?"

Nathan continued to stare at her, this time with a different emotion in his eyes; confusion. As the silence began to set in the room, Cat suddenly burst, "You know, Nathan, it should be me not trusting you! My secrets are much more important than our little 'Hey, can you help me with my homework' relationship we had at school. My life is so much more complicated than you can imagine and you're just making it all worse by trying to turn my charge against me? What is it that you want me to do? Apologize on bent knee for not telling you everything about me?" Cat took a deep breath and steadied herself. "Are you even going to answer?" she said, suddenly soft.

Nathan's gray eyes watched her every movement before he finally said, "It's not that simple."

Cat was silent, eyes on him for an answer. "He better answer soon," hissed Callie, calico fur slowly rising in anger, "He has no right to be judging you without a reason."

Finally, Nathan murmured, "I thought I knew you. I'm not used to being wrong. During the entire ride back with those crooks, they kept saying stuff like 'Can you really trust her,' and 'what if you're next?' They were right. You have powers that I have no clue of. Why can't you just tell me them?"

"What?" both Cylon and Callie exclaimed at once. "He'd actually listen to those assassins who tried to his best friend more than James himself?" Callie hissed, stalking towards Nathan slowly, shoulders squared and her kitten eyes narrowed.

"Callie, leave him alone! Let him finish," Cat said, purposely out loud to check Nathan's reaction.

"Oh," he said, gazing from Callie to Cat to Cylon and back to Cat. "Oh."

Sorry it was so short! Please review and I'll try to update soon. I hope I made it clearer that Cat really does love James.
